Cops: "Little" Star Hit Bar, Drove Car

The pint-sized pop on the TLC reality show "Little People, Big World" has been hiding a pretty big secret -- he was busted for DUI last month.

According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, 45-year-old Matthew Roloff was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, around midnight on June 19 after cops claim that Roloff's van had been swerving on the road.

Roloff, who then failed a field sobriety test, was taken to Washington County Jail, where he was cited and released.

62. My bad I meant # 50.

Plus you are off your rocker to give the excuse to say anyone would do the same thing if they had to tell their kids to clean their rooms.

63. Well ihe may have been drunk, however he does have a handicap & I am sure (not trying to sound mean) but one drink would do anybody in at his size.

64. This is my all time favorite show and I'm a huge fan of the Roloffs. Finally, a show that tells what it's really like to have 4 teenagers, like me. Amy, Matt's wife, goes from crisis to crisis, taking care of everyone....
Matt, I'm thinking of you! I hope Little People, Big World devotes a show to this particular situation...

65. Watched this show often, while Matt irrates me sometimes with his whimsical idea's and leaves his poor wife to deal with everything, it saddens me that he, already handicapped, would do something like D&D. I wish there were some examples of people using their heads instead of thinking they are above the law. I pray that this was a mix up but history does not bode well for those that reach a small amount of fame. Hey TMZ can you do a page about anyone in or around Hollywood being responsible and getting a ride when trashed, leaving their car parked?

67. Well I love "Little People Big World" and I guess we all just go into shock when we find out seemingly "perfect" people are just human after all. There isn't one of us who hasn't done something we totally regret...we realize after the fact that we made a really stupid decision. Luckily noone was hurt, including Matt, and hopefully it won't happen again. And what exactly is "influence of intoxicants"? Who says that means alcohol? Anyway, BIG HUGS to the Roloff family! I hope to visit their farm one of these days.

69. I am so dissapointed! I thought he was a good guy and all. Trying to teach his kids to make good decisions. What is wrong with people in the spot light these days!!!??? I swear there have been more 'celebrity" DUI arrests than there have been regular citizens!!!

70. And also to " Little Midget" comment #57, Who is BETH??? If you are refering to his wife then her name is AMY.

71. wow, sure are a bunch of self righteous people on this topic! Drinking and driving is against the law and I certainly do not condone it, HOWEVER, for all of you who are quick to criticize, have you NEVER made a bad choice? I know Matt could have killed someone, or even himself, but which one of us is perfect???

72. Ohhhhhh his wife probably kicked his little ass from one side of the house to the other. He probably slept in the corn field. I wouldn't mess with her. She's a tough one.

73. NICE HAIR! I bet guys twice his size are jealous!

74. Boy, that's too bad. That REALLY surprises me. He seems like he has so much common sense and his act together. Well, everybody makes mistakes. But I'm still shocked.
